Harrison Ingra has another year of college eligibility remaining. However, the UNC basketball junior forward is now a projected first-round pick in the eyes of some NBA Draft experts, leading many to believe he’ll soon announce that he’s bolting early to begin his professional career.
Meanwhile, Ingram had been completely quiet on social media. Until Friday afternoon, his most recent post was a “Let’s rock” repost of the UNC basketball account’s advertisement of its No. 1 seed for the NCAA Tournament way back on March 17.
Much has happened since. The Tar Heels lost in the Sweet 16 to No. 4 seed Alabama on March 28. And thus far this month, third-year head coach Hubert Davis and his staff have seen two players enter the transfer portal in sophomore guard Seth Trimble and junior big man James Okonkwo; meanwhile, the UNC coaches have been in contact with several transfers from other schools.
Several of the Tar Heels’ potential transfer targets are post presences. That suggests to some that Davis and his cohorts expect to replace more than just Okonkwo and graduate center Armando Bacot down low, as they’re already set to add five-star forward Drake Powell and four-star center James Brown to the mix via the recruiting trail.
So, will Harrison Ingram be in Chapel Hill next season.
